Does she have a date of birth? 93.184.128.18 ( talk) 08:20, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
I was asked to look at this. It's a Promotional article, no matter who wrote it, and is written just like many similar articles. A very abbreviated biography, with nothing specific about background and education. Discussing the contents of the book by including quotations or summaries of articles about them. Favorable comments only, which is rather unlikely for a radical of any sort, or anyone writing in this area. I did a little rewriting, but I haven't looked for other sources.
I was also asked to look at BLP concerns; the first paragraph is of course the sort of statements we are very careful with. But they come from her publisher's PR site, and therefore contain only what she herself wants to be said. So there's no concern about negative BLP. There is a concern about WP:V -- it's self-description, & it is not unknown for people to describe their activities in more lurid or dramatic ways than the actual circumstances warrant. (Some of the statements of course are almost always impossible to document otherwise) So I changed the wording to indicate that it was a self-description, and the reader will make of it what they will.
There's no real qy about notability: the book reviews and the other articles are sufficient. DGG ( talk ) 20:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Haven't seen in other articles links to reviews of books written by the subject of the article. Do we need them? Can they be deleted? -- Dakinijones ( talk) 22:22, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
